one of pg&e's pipelines runs near the intersection, one of two within the city limits and the other further north with the border. later this afternoon, the utility will release the risk with the 100 riskiest pipelines throughout the state in response to a gas pipeline explosion with san brown bruno. they notified them of two lines that run west of 880 through the city limits. that city is supposed to meet sometime this week to figure out how to move forward. as for san jose, the gas pipeline located here underground at north first, pg&e is supposed to be upgrading this in 2012. live in san jose, rob redell, today in the bay.
